Chapter 324: Battle Battle

Gao Xiang commanded the artillery of the second column to fire at full strength, and after a few rounds, the Kuomintang artillery in Yan'an City was beaten without any movement, which made He Wending, the commander of the defending army, the commander of the 17th Division, very angry, and shouted at an officer who came to report that the artillery was a waste.

This officer thought a little unconvinced, it's not because you, the commander, are too cowardly, what did you do when the communist army surrounded Liu Kan? The strength of the three divisions only sent a brigade to the rescue, hum, or classmates, if you work hard with the communist army, you won't be surrounded inside now and can't get out, now you know that scolding soldiers is waste, and you know that you regret it? You're not so good either.

But these words can only be thought about, and he said in his mouth: "Division, the communist army is attacking us in all directions, the artillery fire is terrible, and the number of artillery is more than ours, we really can't cope with it." ”

Hearing this officer's report, He Wending sighed: "It's just more than a year, the communist army can press us to fight, not only the number of people has doubled a few times, but even the artillery firepower is more powerful than **, and the speed of the communist army pulling the team is too frightening, too frightening." ”

Not to mention how surprised He Wending was in his headquarters, the attack of the Northwest Field Army did not stop because it was about to dawn, the attacks of several main columns became more and more fierce, and the intention of the leaders of the main attack columns was obvious, they all wanted to take advantage of the darkest period of time before dawn to fight hard, even if they couldn't take Yan'an, they would have to fight with the enemy hún together in street battles, as long as the troops of the two armies were mixed together, the Kuomintang air force would have no way to bomb, and there was no air support, Relying only on infantry and the PLA to fight close combat and street fighting, what suspense can there be, either surrender or be eliminated.

The second column in the south of the city has more than 120 artillery pieces in total, of which the main force is the American-style 105 grenades, which can have more than 80 guns, and the rest is more than 40 mountain guns and field artillery.

Twenty minutes later, Gao Xiang's artillery fire extended backwards, and several signal flares came out behind the position, hanging high in the sky, and in the darkness before dawn, a few red signal flares looked extremely dazzling.

As the signal flares were raised, the sound of the military horn sounded on the positions of the People's Liberation Army, and the three main brigades of the second column launched another attack in the south of the city, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, shouts, and the explosion of grenades and explosives bags turned the entire attack area into a hell of death.

At the same time as the artillery fire extended backwards, dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns of Wei Gang on Laoshan began to cover the section to be attacked by the independent regiment with storm-like firepower.

Qing Yi sè large-caliber machine gun bullets, the lethal power is several times that of ordinary infantry light weapons, any part of the human body as long as it is next to a little bit will be knocked out, the wounded person is basically explained, the casualties caused by the use of anti-aircraft machine guns to strafe the infantry are very scary, and they are also very shocking, Li Yong told Sù Weigang, don't care if the hit is accurate, there is no way to aim at such a long distance, just use your anti-aircraft machine gun to rush at the enemy's position.

At the moment of anti-aircraft machine gun fire, the attack of the independent regiment began, and each infantry battalion began to charge with a commando, which was an infantry platoon in the infantry combat battalion, and the establishment of each platoon of the independent regiment exceeded eighty people (the direct team of the regimental headquarters was not counted, and the platoon-level units of the three companies of the regimental headquarters did not have so many people).

At this time, it is important to see the importance of tactical coordination, first use Gao Xiang's artillery fire to prepare the enemy's fire, and then use the anti-aircraft machine gun to suppress the enemy after the fire preparation, and at the same time the anti-aircraft machine gun suppresses the commando charge, one link after another, every link is almost not good, almost to make up for it with the lives of the soldiers, this is what the regiment commander Li Yong often said during training, and the soldiers also faithfully implemented the requirements of their regiment commander.

The assault team was supposed to be the most combat-ready infantry platoon in each battalion, and the fighters marched in attack formations, with three people as a battle group, covering each other alternately.

The charge of the Independent Regiment was different from that of other units, and when attacking the fortified positions, it did not blindly fight hard and rush, but used the tactical maneuvers unique to the Independent Regiment at that time.

Three people in a combat group, two combat groups for a tactical squad, the first group attack, the second group in the back cover follow-up, each group attack the distance of about 10 meters.

First look for favorable terrain, rush out more than 10 meters after the first group lies down to cover, then the second group begins to charge, in the charge by the first combat group that has been lying down to cover, the second group rushes out more than 10 meters after lying down, and then by the first group to stand up and attack, and the cycle is carried out alternately, such a tactical action may be slower than the blind hard rush speed, but can minimize the casualties of the soldiers.

This kind of attack method has been done countless times by the independent regiment during its usual training, so at this time, the fighters' movements are very skillful, attacking and covering, covering the attack, and there is no movement of dragging mud and water at all, only to see countless small arrows appear in the entire attack area, jumping forward and breaking through.

The commanders of the Fifth Brigade, who were watching the battle from behind, were also very inspired by the unique tactical movements of the Independent Regiment, and these commanders said: "The independent regiment does not just look at Niu X, it does have its own set of rules and regulations when it fights, and this kind of tactical attack action is very good." ”

Brigade Commander Guo Pengguo, who was standing with Li Yong, also patted Li Yong's shoulder with great feeling: "Commander Li, is there a way?" After the battle, send a few people over and teach us your methods, let's say in advance, don't hide them. ”

Li Yong laughed: "Don't worry, chief, as long as you want to learn, we can send someone over at any time, what to teach, but you also have to teach us a little bit of your good methods, let's learn from each other and improve together." ”

Li Yong did not think that all the independent regiments were the best, and the advantages he had at his disposal were some modern tactical ideas and advanced historical development trajectories, and the fashionable saying was "more foresight and insight than others", and the grasp of timing on the battlefield and the use of tactics were far worse than those of these commanders of the older generation, which was not modesty, but a fact.

Let's take a small example, a student who has been in a military academy for more than ten years and a veteran soldier who has fought for more than ten years are estimated to not even know how they died when they PK on the battlefield, and the reason is very simple, what has been honed between life and death is much more reliable than books.

In the blink of an eye, the assault team rushed out more than a hundred meters, and at this time, several armored cars appeared from the positions of the five infantry battalions, which had been designed by the independent regiment to deal with the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, and now came in handy.

In 1948, when the War of Liberation was fought, the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army did not have a single armored vehicle or tank weapon, and the cars of the Independent Regiment that had been modified after the Liberation War were barely in a difficult situation.

There were more than 40 such cars in the entire independent regiment, and all of them drove out at this time, and each car pressed one or two tǐng of Makqin heavy machine guns, and dozens of tǐng heavy machine guns used bullets to open the way, covering the troops behind the cars to rush up.

To the surprise of the cadres and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade who were watching the battle, it was not a brigade of infantry that followed closely behind the cars, but an artillery unit surrounded by infantry, and behind each car was an artillery piece that the soldiers were desperately pushing forward.

It was really unthinkable to involve the artillery in the charge, but today the independent regiment did just that, and the artillery rushed after it.

In fact, the entire tactical action of the independent regiment was to first prepare for fire with curved howitzers, clean up the attacked area as much as possible, and then make a tentative attack by small commandos, whose task was not to fight hard with the enemy, but to let the remaining firepower of the defenders come out.

If the enemy's firepower is not violent, these assault units are used to rush over and attack closely, if the enemy's firepower is violent, they use the artillery covered by armored vehicles behind the assault team to carry out a direct attack, and after the enemy's firepower points are completely cleared, the main force will launch a final attack, this is a complete set of tactical actions of the independent regiment.

So what is the most important thing about fighting a war? The most important thing is to gain the initiative in the war, as it is now, the Kuomintang defenders cannot escape the fate of being wiped out no matter how much they struggle in the face of the rushing commandos.

At this time, most of the strongholds and fortifications on the positions of the Kuomintang defenders were shattered by the stormy shells, and those who were lucky enough to be alive were also dizzy by the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army.

The Kuomintang soldiers staggered one by one as if they had drunk, and an officer looked his head out of the gap in the stone, and in a blink of an eye this guy shouted like a pig: "Hurry up, all *** hurry up, the communist army is rushing up, the communist army is rushing up." ”

Under the shouts and threats of the officers, the soldiers reluctantly put their weapons on the trenches and shot outward, but before they could fire a few bullets, they heard a shell with a shrill scream, and then there was a loud "boom", and the soldiers and the officers flew into the sky together.

A similar scene was played out throughout the assault area of the Independent Regiment, with the assault team making a tentative attack, and as soon as there was a burst of fire, it was killed by a single shell, and the troops continued to advance.
